Advancing the Interests of Authors Who Want to Serve the Public Good
What Happens When OMB is Sued Over its New Proposed Grant Rules?
The Office of Management and Budget’s new proposed rules for the administration of federal grants have caused a storm.
Published on May 29 as the largest rewrite of federal grant rules since the Uniform Guidance was consolidated in 2013, the proposal drew tens of thousands of public comments before the July 13 deadline. We wrote in June about what the proposed rule would mean for scholarly publishing and open access specifically, and our post last week highlighted our comments to OMB on those issues.
